It is hilarious how good SoO is outside of the Finals, great composition, great decision making, and then... he goes into finals. And dies.
Eh the last game was full finals tbh.
Also, this game is the reason why pheonix>4gate>robo>third is horribly outdated. The zerg is just free to do whatever he wants for the whole game.

Such a joke that Stats could stay alive for so long despite being behind so much

He really wasn't alive for most of that, he was simply being stubborn.

Yeah well I must admit that I didn't watch last 2 games, this is my first. :D
It is true that he can screw up outside of the finals too(losing 3-1 to Super...), but most of the time he is really good.

Oh damn, missed the first 2 games, thought the pvp was going first.

Kinda true for every race though. Zerg can sac base and back off behind swarm hosts, terran can move up ramp into a great concave and EMP/aoe.
I like having defender's advantage.The problem imo is that 3 base economy is about as strong as 5+ base economy. So basically you have to wait until defending player mines out to get an advantage/win.

Love this ZvP style
Though I think it is really difficult to execute
even soO has some ultras wondering around attacking random building...
it all came down to Stats not scouting what he will be dealing with... i doubt same trick will work twice though

Can anyone give me a quick run down of the strats soo played?

I strongly disagree. At that stage of the game what really matters for protoss and zerg is the gas income, not the mineral income.
Of course a 4th (or 5th, or 6th eventually) base in sc2 isn't as strong as in bw, but it's still extremely important to secure one.
edit: @bo1b, game 1 he opened 9pool, did okish damage, then went roach/ling into muta/corruptor. Game 2 he went 3hatch before pool, played greedier because he deflected dt's, and still went roach/ling into muta/corruptor.

lol Tasteless is so unintentionally hilarious sometimes. "i read this funny thing and i'll tell you about it now but i totally forgot the punchline". priceless.

soo is really showing why he consistently makes it far, and stats is showing how you dont prepare for a series. stats has been doing predictable openings and just trying to rely on skill and scouting. There is no world where stats should have not proxy 2 gated on nimbus after soo's g1/g2 builds and the way he was being outclassed and got a win off two bad engagements of soo.. It would have been a build order win and messed with soo's mindset for g4. Soo has been doing different openings, tricky tech switches and really knows how to play a series.
